Why: Spend Sunday, July 12 cleaning up Minnehaha Creek ensuring the creeks survival for future generations. The day will begin with a pancake breakfast, provided by Minnehaha Creek Watershed District, at 9:00 am. Once you have “fueled up,” you will set off to a designated cleaning site.
Remember to pick up as many candy bar wrappers as possible. There will be prizes to the top “gatherers.” Then enjoy a celebratory bbq lunch, provided by Leinenkugel’s, lakeside. Then head home for a well deserved nap.
Don’t forget your ID. We will be carding you for your fabulous, cold Lienenkugel’s beer at lunch.

I Am Adverse to Trash, Is there Anything Else I Can Do? Yes! You can pull Buckthorn! This is an invasive tree that will take over all of the space used by trees that we really need and want. We will have a sample of a Buckthorn so you know what to pull.
